Day 88 - Loneliness
The loneliness of loss—do you feel it? This can be one of the most painful emotions in grieving.
Luevenia, whose husband passed away, says, “There’s no way I’ll ever be the same. It just can’t be. I’m so lonely. The evenings are the toughest because I can get out during the day and do things.”
The Lord Jesus knows what it’s like to be lonely. He’s been there. He knows it well.
You may be lonely, but you are never alone because God is with you every moment, and He can transform your lonely life in ways you cannot imagine. “God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land” (Psalm 68:6).
Holy God, I am a prisoner of loneliness. I know that things will never be the same as they were, but You promise in Your Word that You will “lead forth the prisoners with singing.” Lead on, Lord. Amen.
